Well, Egypt is an Orthodox Christian country, and Orthodox Christians celebrate Christmas on January 7th because they follow the Julian calendar instead of the Gregorian calendar. The Julian calendar is 13 days behind the Gregorian calendar, so they celebrate Christmas 13 days later than most other countries. So, while the rest of the world is celebrating Christmas in December, Egyptians are celebrating it in January!
